Eh, it looks like a cool and cute game, but believe me. Unless your a huge fan of ridiculous grind fest, then stay away from it.
I played the game until I had a level 40 archer. I was busy killing off a round of enenmies when realization sank in as I stared at my experience bar.
0.10 Exp. . .
I was gaining only 0.10 exp for every enemy I killed. . .And for the last few hours, I was actually satisfied with this. . .
My god, what a friggin time waster that was.
I've stayed away from MMORPGs after that experience. . . .Don't do it.

Maple Story was great fun, but then I made Firefox my default browser and since Maple Story only supposts IE for connecting to its servers, I stopped playing (mostly because I never figured out that it was trying to connect through Firefox).
I used to play, but I mean, good god, this is scary. Granted, it's no WOW killer(sadly) but hey.
For anyone wondering why it's popular, here it is:
Because it's fun at 5 A.M.
At least, for me anyway.
Now then, time to go re-DL for the Four Year events.
Away~!

I can't believe it, Apoclypse has arrived. Every religion must be wrong because i do not see my savior right now come to cleanse the human race of 92 million idiots. i played that game back in middle school with 5 friends, and it was okay, we all had a little fun with until you hit about level 25, where you stop gaining lagit amounts of experience. we had reached level 40 when we realized that it had taken us a whole day to gain a level. a single level. one entire day. The one after that, we all simultaneously quit. The art direction wasn't too bad if your into that kind of stuff, but paying ten bucks in real life for inanimate clothes is a dumb idea. The classes were entertaining, but all it is repetitive grind with absolutely nothing else to do.
I don't understand what people have against paying money for a video game monthly. It's not like the companies just eat your cash and crap on your face in return. They generally provide a good product and nice service, and games that are actually worth playing. I hate people who tell me that it's $15 a month. So what?! i get paid that for two hours of work! If you care so much about $15 a month, why did you spend at the very least $500 on what would be a really bad computer. If your so poor that you can't spare $15 a month, you need to stop playing maple story and rethink your priorities, such as getting a real job and then a real game.

Sure, it's childish, and there's the Smega spammers saying Looking for Girlfriend (except in horrible almost unreadable English), and there are only monotonous tasks, and to get to the fun content you need real money, and after you finally level up, there is little incentive... Wow, actually, never mind my point I was going to originally going to point out...Keane Ng said:
However, I must say, using Meso Explosion is fun...
Why is it so popular? Because unlike most other MMOs of its size, its free with a very easy chat and trading system. Doing group missions is easy too and the computer you run it on doesn't have to be that high spec.
My mate had a few accounts and he even got me into it for a while. I can safely say that if I were to play an MMO again it would be Maple Story, just because it is easy setup, easy user interface, lots of people, most of whom are nice and a very nice learning curve to the game.
In short, in a world where WoW is MMO crack cocaine, MS is its more addictive, liquid brother.

I played Maple Story for about a week once, but it just wasn't fun enough for me to continue.
EDIT: Then again, MMOs have never really held my attention for long.
